2. What is Copyright?

3. Copyright:
 …”copy management means being more
thoughtful about how you handle your right,
retaining rights in certain circumstances, and
sharing the wealth of rights the law gives us
with others, in other situations.”(Harper,
2007)

4. Digitalization Impact
 A treasure for public thru the use of digital
libraries
 We need to take advantage of this but always
remember to acknowledge the author’s rights.
 “Digitalization has unleashed unprecedented
interest in our cultural heritage…”(Harper,
2007)

5. Orphan Works
 Just because the owner of a work is not found
it doesn’t mean we don’t have to give the
appropriate credit when using his/her work.
 Orphan work refers to the work that belongs
to owners that are unknown, unable to be
located, or unresponsive.(Harper, 2007)

6. Internet
 Any material that we might use from the
internet also has a copyright too.
 The government has a law which protects
these sources.
 “…putting the pen to the paper or in the
electronic medium, putting the fingers to the
save key creates a copyrighted work”.
(Harper, 2007)

7. Fair Use
 This term refers to the statements that The
Center for Social Media and Washington
School of Law at American University are
supporting the creation of a statement that
give us information on copyright and let us
know what is fair. (Harper, 2007)

8. Educators

9. Teach Act
 Copyright and the law
Educators are given limited rights to in the
classroom.
“…the educator would have to pare down some
of those materials to show them to distant
students or take them available over the
Internet to face –to –face students.” (Harper,
2007)

10. Cont. Teach Act
 “Fair use is almost always going to be the best
source of authority for making copies in any
context…” (Harper, 2007)

11. Permission
 Obtaining permission to use another person’s
work.
 Copyright Clearance Center(CCC)-it offers
electronic and photocopy based on
institutional use of works for the classroom of
all the works in the license repertoire.
(Harper, 2007)
 Contacting the owner

12. Cont. Permission
 Unidentifiable owner-you can still be punished
regardless of an unsuccessful investigation of
the work owner.
